    Closed.

    The Reddit BuildAPCSales mods have banned Woot keys from being advertised there due to people getting bad keys, so I'd avoid buying one from there.

    PayPal is no longer safe against scammers...

    You say AliExpress... do you mean like, the company, or a third party seller there? PayPal is useful but you really shouldn't be using it on businesses that even seem slightly dodgy for one reason or another. That's why you use credit cards with buyer protection instead. PayPal will only go so far.

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    Time for me to give something back for once. https://i.imgur.com/bxsiTDe.jpg Anyone want this Black Magic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor card? I bought it at a local amazon return dumpster store a while back, thinking it was a capture card. It's untested (I don't have space to test it in my PC)...

    How many % of today's PC can be windows 12 ready? And why is Windows 10 lifespan shorter than prev. version?

    That's just for version 21H2 of Windows 11 - the original one according to Wikipedia. They're saying, "We won't support this version because you haven't updated it to the latest build." If you're on 22H2 (the 2022 update) then you're good for around one more year. If you're on 23H2, you're...

    how to minimize eBay ship costs?

    I agree on the YMMV thing. My local post office refused to let me send anything Media Mail for a decade, no matter how much I argued for it. They once stopped me from sending a comic book TPB that was fully eligible based on their "no ads" requirements. Once the postmaster was moved to another...

    WTB/WTTF: Old shareware / demo / gaming magazine discs

    You'd be surprised at how much stuff is missing from there. And yes, there's a collector's market, which means some eBay sellers are trying to charge me $15 per demo. But I don't want to resell these, just fill in holes in my collection and research data for others to use. I have a near...

    WTB/WTTF: Old shareware / demo / gaming magazine discs

    Hey folks. I collect old game magazine CDs / DVDs, demo discs, sampler discs, that sorta thing, and I figured I might as well ask if anyone here has some they'd like to part with - preferably for cheap, or in exchange for other items. I mostly do this to document various builds, patches, or...

    how to minimize eBay ship costs?

    So here's another thing I forgot to mention about the flat rate envelopes. USPS employees really don't like it when people use the thinner, paper ones to ship anything that isn't documents or something that isn't very thin. I wanted to use one to ship a CD and they refused the package. Also...

    how to minimize eBay ship costs?

    I've been selling things on eBay for 20 years. So I have some shipping advice. For shipping smaller things that fit in an envelope through USPS, eBay and Pirate Ship are functionally the same, they both have the same cost. Media Mail is the same, as well. (Though this is just for CDs, DVDs and...

    Windows 7/8 Product Key to install Windows 10 workaround - possibly no longer

    Of course they finally put down the old activation servers right after I'm about to build my next PC. So sad. All my Windows 7s, useless. (Actually I wanted to keep a couple of licenses for semi-retro gaming use.) Gonna have to figure out how to use Massgrave.

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    I appreciate the offer, but I also have an Xbox 360 External drive. It has some power connection problems and so I was looking for a replacement that isn't as finicky as that one. :)

    WTB: Battlefield 2042 PC Game/Key

    I still say you should wait, there's a chance the Amazon listing I pointed to is gonna be cheaper. The EGS store sale is going to last another week anyway. ;)
